2 in custody after Fort Myers pharmacy robbery

Two people were taken into custody related to a robbery that took place at a Fort Myers Walgreens, according to the police department.

It happened at the corner of Treeline Avenue and Colonial Boulevard Saturday afternoon.

Police say a black Honda Accord was involved in the robbery.

"We come here all the time and shop for stuff and I'm shocked it was during the day because it could have happened to me," said one customer, who wished to remain anonymous. "Now I gotta go to another pharmacy."

Crime scene tape was up surrounding the area as police and the Lee County Sheriff's Office investigated.

Walgreens was closed for a few hours during the situation but has since reopened.
